MUSICAL GUEST: THE KAZOOKAYLELE KID

This is Edinburgh, Scotland’s very own Stuart Crout, who does his best work under the name “The Kazookaylele Kid,” a name derived from the fascinating instrument of the same name that he built from a kazoo, a ukulele, and a baby piano. And here’s Crout performing...

IVERSON GETS NO LOVE FROM THE KNICKS

Iverson
Allen Iverson, often cited as Exhibit A of “What’s Wrong With The NBA” by white people everywhere, thought he was too good to sit the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies. Apparently, he was wrong. The New York Knicks, sitting with a 2-9 record, decided that Iverson didn...

IRAQ DETAINEES ARE BIG FAVRE FANS

Iraqi prisoners in an American military camp are having a bit of fun with the soldiers running the joint. That’s because those soldiers are actually from the Wisconsin National Guard, and therefore diehard Packers fans. “They know Favre by name,” said First Lieutenant...

New_york_knicks_ed28
Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump. It’s still trying to convince his girlfriend to adopt the plus-one system. That handball against Ireland was among the greatest screwjobs of all time. Rumors and Rants. I’m only linking this video of...

MUSICAL GUEST: LOS COLORADOS

Since I took over the blog in February, I’ve been trying to come up with a fun way to signal the end of the posting day. Something that would jump out and say, “You are now free to move about the rest of the internet.” Something bloggy, but not necessarily sports-related. And then I saw [...]

PALACE BRAWL WAS 5 YEARS AGO TODAY

It was five years ago to the day when the NBA finally got gangsta. The melee that broke out in the Palace of Auburn Hills came off to some as simply mind-blowing television. Others interpreted it as a message on the state of a Jordan-less NBA. This is a disgrace. The fact of the matter is [...]

PRO FOOTBALL ABANDONS LA…AGAIN

The UFL game that was scheduled in Los Angeles tomorrow has been cancelled, according to a report from the LA Daily News. The Las Vegas Something’ruthers were slated to take on the New York Whatchamacalits at the Home Depot Center, a soccer stadium, but that game has since been...

BUCKEYES SWIM IN THEIR OWN PEE

This has been everywhere today–just like Pauly’s mom–but as an Ohio State alum, I feel compelled to weigh in. First of all, I never swam in Mirror Lake, because they hadn’t renovated that area of campus before I graduated. They hadn’t drained the lake...

IT’S A VERY RAVEN WEDDING

The first thing I thought when I saw this was, “Hey, shouldn’t the bride be wearing a white jersey?” And then I thought, “Well, no. She should actually be wearing an entire wedding dress.” But I don’t know if this was just a reception thing or if...

IS THIS TEBOW’S ‘GIRLFRIEND?’

A lot of people are pretty sure that the woman in this image on the left is the same as the woman on the right, but I’m not sure that I buy it. For one thing, I don’t know how Tebow’s original “girlfriend” could get by without the “support”...

CHRONICLES OF THE WHINY ATHLETE

I don’t think people get bent out of shape simply from a professional athlete complaining about life to the media. Actually, lots of fans out there can appreciate the humanity of it all, provided that the athlete in question is qualified to speak for his team. But what really...

TRICK PLAYS: STATUE OF LIBERTY REDUX

“Alright men! We’ve got a good little gadget here for the goalline. Garrett, you’re gonna fake the handoff to the tailback, then toss the ball over your head like a big sissy. Joel, when everyone else is playing the run, you’re gonna catch that big Nancy pass...

‘IT WAS A HANDBALL’

Two things I hate to see: Irishmen getting upset and the French getting something they didn’t earn. Yesterday in World Cup qualifying, both events occured. With France playing Ireland for the right to advance to the world cup, the whole thing went to pot in the 105th minute....

SAINT ANDREW’S NET: PUNTE 360

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link pile. Before it walked into the garage, it turned to its 19-year-old girlfriend and uttered, “I’ll be right back.” It’s that Nazi-dinosaur mashup for which you’ve been pining. Welcome RoboPanda...

MUSICAL GUEST: BLOOMINGTON BROS.

Since I took over the blog in February, I’ve been trying to come up with a fun way to signal the end of the posting day. Something that would jump out and say, “Okay, douchebags. Time to go outside and engage the rest of the world.” Something bloggy, but not necessarily...

TMZ: HULK ATTACK WAS REAL, BRUTHA

Just about everyone that saw the Aussie presser of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan engaged in fisticuffs just though, “Yep, those two are at it again.” Even when photos of a bloodied Hulkster surfaced on line, nobody really thought of it as anything other than “business...
